Ranked exposures

  1. ▼ DAL Delta Air Lines, Inc. — confidence medium
    Expanded Asian carrier capacity could intensify Pacific-route competition, pressure Delta’s yields, and potentially delay its Boeing aircraft deliveries.
  2. ▼ UAL United Airlines Holdings, Inc. — confidence medium
    A major Asian airline fleet expansion could boost transpacific capacity, intensify competition, and pressure United’s fares, yields, and international margins.
  3. ▼ AAL American Airlines Group Inc. — confidence low
    American may encounter tougher international pricing and connecting-traffic competition if the purchasing airlines deploy the new aircraft on U.S. routes.
  4. ▼ AER AerCap Holdings N.V. — confidence low
    A surge of new direct-order deliveries eases aircraft scarcity, pressuring lease rates and used-asset values.
  5. ▼ ALGT Allegiant Travel Company — confidence low
    A giant Asian capacity order signals rising global widebody/narrowbody supply and fare competition pressuring small carriers' economics.
  6. ▼ ALK Alaska Air Group, Inc. — confidence low
    Alaska Air could face incremental competitive pressure in West Coast international gateway markets if Asian carriers add long-haul capacity.
  7. ▼ FTAI FTAI Aviation Ltd. — confidence low
    Faster OEM deliveries reduce the shortage of used engines and older jets that underpins its aftermarket premium.
  8. ▼ LUV Southwest Airlines Co. — confidence low
    A very large Boeing commitment could further constrain near-term Boeing production slots, limiting flexibility for other Boeing-dependent carriers such as Southwest to accelerate fleet growth.
  9. ▼ TXT Textron Inc. — confidence low
    Boeing's dominance in the campaign highlights competitive share loss for smaller aerospace OEM franchises seeking Asian growth.
  10. ▲ BA The Boeing Company — confidence medium
    A record 500-aircraft order would significantly expand Boeing’s backlog, deposits, production utilization, and long-term revenue and delivery visibility.
  11. ▲ GE GE Aerospace — confidence medium
    GE Aerospace could benefit significantly from engine sales, spare parts, and long-term maintenance contracts if the aircraft order uses CFM or GE widebody engines.
  12. ▲ HWM Howmet Aerospace Inc. — confidence medium
    Higher Boeing production rates should boost Howmet’s multiyear demand for forged engine airfoils, fasteners, structural castings, and other aerospace components.
  13. ▲ RTX RTX Corporation — confidence medium
    More Boeing deliveries could boost RTX’s Collins Aerospace orders for onboard systems, aftermarket support, and potentially Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
  14. ▲ TDG TransDigm Group Incorporated — confidence medium
    A larger global fleet of new Boeing aircraft expands TransDigm’s high-margin proprietary aftermarket parts opportunity, supporting long-term revenue and profit growth.
  15. ▲ CRS Carpenter Technology Corporation — confidence low
    Specialty alloys for engines and airframes see stronger demand as Boeing and engine makers raise output.
  16. ▲ CW Curtiss-Wright Corporation — confidence low
    Curtiss-Wright's aerospace systems and components business could see incremental content and aftermarket opportunities from higher commercial aircraft production.
  17. ▲ HEI HEICO Corporation — confidence low
    HEICO could benefit over time as the expanded Boeing fleet creates more demand for commercial aerospace components, repairs, and aftermarket parts.
  18. ▲ HON Honeywell International Inc. — confidence low
    Avionics, auxiliary power units and wheel/brake systems on Boeing jets generate incremental OE and aftermarket revenue.
  19. ▲ HXL Hexcel Corporation — confidence low
    Composite-intensive 787/777X deliveries drive volume growth for its advanced carbon fiber materials.
  20. ▲ WWD Woodward, Inc. — confidence low
    Fuel systems and actuation content on Boeing platforms and their engines benefit from ramped production.
